  • I was able to get some Linksys E8450 routers for cheap (~$40 each) on eBay a couple years ago, but they are more expensive atm (but $70 each, which is cheaper than a lot of other options). They require a bit of work to get OpenWRT installed, but it’s not bad once the work is done (I have received nearly 400 MB/s when I am close to the wireless connection sometimes, which is what my internet is capped at). I have used them as a mesh with one as a main gateway and the rest as access points with additional Ethernet ports. They do have the OKD issue fixed now, too. They’re also Wi-Fi 6. I’m looking into getting a Banana Pi BPI-R3 or R4, though I am not sure how well they are with mesh specifically, but have seen a few forum threads of people having some issues with mesh on these specific routers. I hope to switch to fast roaming (wired backhaul) eventually.






  • You can make a difference running in local elections (mentioned in the video), but you still don’t have to run under the democrat party. The Squad were not running for President, and they still were co-opted into betraying the working class. Look at AOC.

    You are not going to be making Democrats shake in their boots if you play by their rules in their party. We have to organize as a working class. Elections are just the best time to get people involved as more people are paying attention to politics. Voting isn’t going to do anything anyway, especially this election. We need to build a working class party, like PSL, for example, to bring class consciousness to the working class in order to be able to make effective change in the long term. We have been playing the bourgeoisie’s game for so long, and these liberal elections are rigged against us. Help in mutual aid, attend party events, unionize your workplace, protest against transphobic bills being passed in your state…there’s a lot more meaningful work to do right now no matter this election’s outcome. We need to be organizing as the working class regardless if Biden or Trump is in office if we want to have a chance for humanity to overcome potential extinction. It’s going to be a rough road ahead anyway, so be prepared.

    Backstory:

    I came across one of their trucks one day on the road, which said APPLE on the back, and next to it was a logo similar to ArcoLinux, which is based on Arch. Today, I actually came across their site, so I decided to post this for shits and giggles.

    I actually use Arch and Gentoo, btw.
